SUMMARY
Johnson Controls Inc. - Power Solutions (“JCI-PS”), a division of Johnson Controls, Inc., Supplier Routing Guide
(“Guide”) provides instructions on carrier selection and shipping specifications for all domestic and international
purchases with a point of delivery in the United States.
This Guide is the only authorized source of instructions about carrier selection, receiving addresses and shipping
specifications for domestic and international purchase orders.
Failure to comply with this Guide may result in a minimum chargeback of $150 per shipment along with any
additional charges (i.e., fines and penalties) incurred.
SECTION 1: SUPPLIER RESPONSIBILITY
Please note that the information in this guide is updated periodically and can change without notice. We do
not recommend that you print any section of this guide. Please refer to the online version of the Routing Guide
found at (http://www.johnsoncontrols.com/content/dam/WWW/jci/Suppliers/ps/Forms/Supplier_Routing_Guidelines.pdf) to make sure you
have the most current information available.
Acceptance of a JCI-PS Purchase Order is an agreement to this Guide and the JCI-PS Terms and Conditions,
which can be found in the Johnson Controls website:
(http://www.johnsoncontrols.com/content/us/en/Suppliers/power_solutions/terms_conditions.html)
Shipments must be shipped complete and set to arrive within the prescribed delivery window stated on the
Purchase Order. Penalties may be imposed on late or early shipments.
SECTION 2: MODE AND SERVICE
JCI-PS shall always be responsible for the transportation. Therefore, all Suppliers (vendor providers or PS Shipping
sites) must prepare their shipments under INCOTERM 2010 FCA (loaded) at Seller’s Premises or another specified
location, i.e. Freight Collect. Shipping under an Incoterm other than FCA (loaded) must first be authorized in
writing by JCI-PS Transportation and your JCI-PS Buyer prior to shipping. Unless previously approved by
JCI-PS, deviation from this requirement will cause a penalty fee and the Supplier will not be reimbursed for the
transportation.
PICKUP TIMELINE
Inland: All Suppliers, unless previously authorized by PS Transportation, must request a pick-up date
of at least two (2) business days prior to the ship date for all North America inland shipments.
Non-Inland (or International): Suppliers must request a pick-up date of at least two (2) weeks for all noninland shipments, including PR, HI and AK.
If the Supplier fails to provide sufficient lead time the Supplier will be fined and charged if any additional
freight costs were incurred to ensure on-time arrival (i.e., expediting the shipment).
JCI-PS will not be responsible for freight and accessorial charges on non-compliant shipments. If the Supplier has
questions regarding the compliance or policies/procedures outlined in this Guide, contact JCI-PS Transportation
([email protected]) prior to scheduling a pick-up on the shipment. If your question/concern
needs to be escalated, please contact your assigned JCI Buyer and they will contact a member of the JCI
Transportation Team directly.

monitor timeliness. Refer to Appendix E for TMC Entry Instructions.
Suppliers will be charged back for any loads (TL or LTLs) that are not entered into the TMC portal (refer to

SECTION 10: C-TPAT
JCI-PS is an active participant in Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT). C-TPAT is a voluntary
joint government-business partnership to enhance supply chain and border security.
As a JCI-PS Supplier, you also have a role to play in ensuring the security of the supply chain. We are asking JCIPS’ Suppliers to assess, and enhance if necessary, their security processes in the following areas recommended
by U.S. Customs: Physical Security, Access Control, Procedural Security, Personnel Security, Education and
Awareness Training. Guidelines for establishing, improving, or amending supply chain security procedures.
Manufacturer Security Recommendations: Non-U.S. JCI-PS Suppliers should develop and implement a sound plan
to enhance security procedures. The following are general recommendations that should be applied on a case by
case basis, depending on the Supplier’s size and structure. These recommendations may not be applicable to all
JCI-PS Suppliers.
JCI-PS Suppliers should have a written security procedure plan in place that addresses the following areas of
concern:
п‚· Physical Security
п‚· Access Controls
п‚· Procedural Security
п‚· Personnel Security
п‚· Education and Training Awareness
Additional Information on C-TPAT
Additional information is available on the U.S. Customs Web site, under Security Criteria for C-TPAT Imports at:
http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/cargo_security/ctpat/ctpat_application_material/ctpat_security_guidelines/importe
rs/
Adherence to the C-TPAT security recommendations is critical to strengthening security for all supply chain
members. Your assistance in this endeavor is required.
SECTION 11: DISCREPANCY RESOLUTION
Johnson Controls Power Solutions is instituting a statute of limitations of 120 days to resolve any payment
discrepancies. Exception: Any ongoing claims or any prior written notifications to Johnson Control associates
